Vanity Fair Interviews Michael Shur and Paul Feig

The first interview is with ‘Office’ writer Michael Shur. Here’s a little snippet…

VF Daily: Can you tell me a little about how the writing process on The Office works?

Michael Schur: We all come in in the morning, and we just toss stuff out. If we hit a wall or something, and it doesn’t seem to be progressing, we’ll switch to some other idea. But it’s really just all the writers sitting around on some pretty uncomfortable fake leather couches for hours and hours and hours, just tossing out ideas about whatever story we’re talking about.

Here’s another interview with ‘Office’ writer Paul Feig…

Does the documentary style of The Office make it easier for the director?

Totally. You don’t have to shoot in the standard style that you usually use for movies and TV shows. That is, let’s say two people are at a dinner table talking to each other. You would generally shoot one person from one direction, kind of over the shoulder of the other person; then you’d flip the cameras around, relight, and go the other way. But since the conceit of The Office is that it’s a documentary, you’d never set up shots where one camera can see the other camera. So it allows you to go very quickly, because you don’t have to reset the lighting within a scene.

The Trouble with Paul Feig

September 28th, 2008 | Paul Feig | 0 Comments

I’D KNOWN PAUL FEIG for about four, four and a half minutes when I asked him that most routine of Hollywood icebreakers: “What projects are you working on?” We were in his shiny silver Mini Cooper, leaving the Burbank house he shares with his wife, Laurie, to drive south to the Comic Con convention in San Diego, in which Feig was scheduled to participate. He lurched without bravado into a litany of film pitches, a young-adult book series, a handful of TV shows at various stages of development and his new gig as co-executive producer of NBC’s No. 1 comedy hit, “The Office.”

Paul Feig Turns Pen to Middle School Readers

September 15th, 2008 | Paul Feig | 0 Comments

As creator of the NBC television show “Freaks and Geeks,” Paul Feig has written about kids. So he said it wasn’t such a stretch to write for them.

The writer and television director will visit Borders in La Grange this month to visit with fans and to sign copies of his newest book, Ignatius MacFarland: Frequenaut! Like many of Feig’s projects, this one centers around a young man who doesn’t quite fit in.
